After all, your face is what gives you away when you are excited, happy or stressed. We bring you a step-by-step guide to get flawless skin at home in no time, plus expert tips to enhance your natural beauty, and keep blemishes at bay.

These recipes are made with herbal and natural ingredients that are usually harmless to the skin skin, easy to find, and likely to already be in your kitchen or the nearest grocery store. They promote glowing and soft skin.

1. WASH YOUR FACE.

                                       Wash your face thoroughly with a facial cleanser or face wash, and pat the skin dry with a soft towel. "Avoid hot water as it dries out the skin",\recommends Dr. Rahul Nagar, Dermatologist, Max Hospitals. Next, dab some cleansing milk on a cotton pad and wipe your face with it in order to unclog your pores and remove any leftover dirt.

 2.OATMEAL.

                    Oatmeal helps calm inflamed skin and absorb excess oil. It also helps exfoliate dead skin. Oatmeal, when used in facial masks, is usually ground. It can be combined with yogurt, honey, or mashed fruit such as bananas, apples, or papaya. To use oatmeal on your face:

1. Combine 1/2 cup ground oats with hot water to form a paste.
2. Stir in 1 tablespoon honey.
3. Massage the oatmeal mixture into your face for about three minutes; rinse with warm water, and pat dry.
4. Alternatively, apply the oatmeal mixture to your face and leave it on for 10–15 minutes; rinse with warm water, and pat dry.

                                                                                    

 3. EGG WHITE AND LEMON MASK.

                                                     Egg white works to remove built up dirt from your skin and tighten your pores. Lemon brightens and exfoliates your skin. The citrus fruit also is a good source of alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin C. Combining the two ingredients gives your skin a healthy boost. To make this mask:

1. Gather 1 egg white and juice from ½ a lemon.
2. Beat the egg white until it becomes frothy.
3. Add the lemon juice to your egg white.
4. Mix together.
5. Apply the mask to your face.
6. Leave the mask on for thirty minutes.
7. Gently rinse it off with warm water.

4.ALOE VERA.

                  Aloe vera is known for soothing burns and other skin conditions. Many people use aloe vera to treat oily skin. You can apply a thin layer to your face before bedtime and leave it on until morning. Aloe vera is known to cause allergic reaction on sensitive skin. If you have not used aloe vera before, test a small amount on your forearm. If no reaction appears within 24 to 48 hours it should be safe to use.

5.HOMEMADE MASK.

                                Creating a mask to remove your dark spots has two major effects. First, wearing a mask can be meditative and relaxing. Second, masks stay on your face for several minutes. This gives your natural treatment time to soak into your skin.

• Create a mixture of raw honey and brown sugar. Mix 1 tbsp raw honey with 1 tbsp brown sugar. Place the brown sugar and honey in a small bowl. Mix together well. Store in a glass jar with an airtight lid. Keep the mixture at room temperature. Wash your face well and then apply a ½ tbsp of the scrub to your wet skin. Massage the mixture gently in a circular motion. Avoid your delicate eye area. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry.

6.TOMATOES.

                   Tomatoes contain salicylic acid, a common acne home remedy. The acids in tomatoes may help absorb excess skin oils and help unclog pores. To make an exfoliating tomato mask: 

1. Combine 1 teaspoon sugar with the pulp of 1 tomato.
2. Apply to the skin in a circular motion.
3. Leave the mask on for 5 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water and pat dry.

You can also apply just tomato pulp or tomato slices to your skin.
